Visualisierung der Fracht-Ströme

Autor 4gy

Dank dem von der LLoyd’s Versicherung angebotenem Service,  LLoyd’s Register Fairplay und dem damit verbundenen “Automatic Identification System”, ist es nun möglich fast 17′000 Frachtschiffe mittels GPS jederzeit zu verfolgen. Visualisiert man diese Tracking-Daten, ergibt dies eine sehr interessante Frachttransport-Seekarte. Dabei lassen sich auch die grössten “Ports” ermitteln. 1. Panama Canal, 2. Suez Canal, 3. Shanghai, auf Platz 4 kommt schon der erste europäische Hafen, Antwerpen. Auf Platz 9 kommt mit Houston der erste US-Hafen (dachte es müsste einer an der Ost- oder Westküste sein). Liste der zwanzig grössten “Ports”.

Freight vehicles are trucks, buses and vans. In 2002 there were 202 million freight vehicles in the world - that is three vehicles per hundred people. Almost half of all freight vehicles are in North America; most of these are in the United States.

8000 000 000 000 (8 trillion) metric tonne-kilometres of rail freight were carried in 2003. A tonne-kilometre is one metric tonne travelling one kilometre. A metric tonne is 1000 kilograms; a kilogram is the weight of one litre of water.

In 2000 403 trillion tonne-kilometres of freight were flown around the world. A tonne-kilometre is when one tonne (1000 kilograms) travels one kilometre. Together North American and Western European registered aircraft carry over half of the world total. Central Africa-registered aircraft carry 0.1% of all air freight in the world

There are more shipping containers loaded and unloaded off the coasts and rivers of China, than travel to or from all other territories put together. It is in China that more than three-quarters of this activity takes place. The majority of China’s shipping by implication appears to be ‘domestic’. The rest of the world put together only handles a third of what China handles. Thus at least half of all container shipping in the world involves China. The ships may bring goods to serve the domestic Chinese market, they may transport part-finished goods along the Chinese coast or down-river, or goods could simply be being transferred between container ships in a Chinese port.
